So, some of you know that my job is crap and I'm now soo poor that I hardly afford gas to get to work.

The stress of it finally came down on me last night. I couldn't sleep and at about 3:30AM I started crying. I was soo scared I wouldn't be able to support my family and that I would have to declare bankruptcy. I cried myself to sleep for the 1st time since I was a young boy.

My baby woke me up at about 6 to eat. I fed him and put him back to sleep at about 6:30.

I fell back asleep on the living room recliner. I only slept for about an hour but I had a dream.

I dreamed that I was being interviewed at a business. I knew WHERE it was but I didn't know what business it was.

When I woke up at 8 I told my wife about my dream and she said, "that would be wonderful"

Well, she went off to work at the day-care and I couldn't go back to sleep. I decided that I would get dressed and visit the actual place I dreamed about. It was a strip mall near a Super Wal-Mart that has just opened last month. Now in my dream I didn't know what business it was so I decided to go to each store asking if they were hiring.

I first walked into the sports store knowing that I couldn't have been dreaming of the nail salon or the Cato. The sports store wasn't hiring.

Next, I walked into the Cash Store (Payday advances/Title loans) and asked. He said they were hiring a manager and an assistant manager. I asked for an application and applied for the manager position.

As SOON as I was done filling out the application the area supervisor walked in (coming from Houston) and said he would interview me right then and there!


15 minutes later, I was the sole manager of the store!!!!!!!


This is my 1st full-time job and I had no previous management experience. I just dressed sharp and spoke clearly. They are starting me at $30,000/yr with full benefits!

My life has completely flipped around and it was all because of that dream!!!

Nice! Congratulations. Be ready for stress in that position, though, just fair warning.

Not to sound like a total jerk, but how do you have a wife and a baby and have never had a full time job before?

I mean it's great that you found something but how did you actually end up in that situation? I'm genuinely curious.

I'm happy for you and your family Duddy. Will you have time to take classes on your new schedule? Management experience plus management degree FTW.

That's awesome! Grats! I'm an agnostic, heavily leaning towards athiest, but there is just some weird $hit that happens that can't be explained! Gotta love it!

I was working PT for an AT&T agent making about $800/2 weeks. So I was able to support my family on that.

Then suddenly in January, people stopped buying cellphones. My check dropped to $250/2 weeks. I looked up and down in this small town for another job but the only people hiring were body shops and the nuclear power plant. I don't qualify for either of those. So I was stuck with my crappy job. They kept saying it would get better but it got worse and worse until I hit poverty level. That was 2 weeks ago.

Out of curiosity, how much were you making right when the iPhone came out last year? That had to be a few good paychecks!

During that time I made the most money. I was getting $1000 checks. Besides, I put half of the iPhone on my Visa.

Congrats. Especially on the full benefits part, that will really help with a young kid, or so I'm told (I don't have one yet).

The payday loan biz can be brutal, I just hope you treat people with respect and decency, since you'll be running into a lot of folks who might be on hard times themselves. Do you think you'll be able to set aside a few bucks to take classes or anything? Play those cards right and it could be a nice step towards a degree.

I wish you the best!

Congrats on the new job. 30K and full benefits is very nice considering the cost of living in Texas.

So you're a store manager at a predatory lender...interesting.

Make your money, but keep filling out applications in the meantime.
